The Hungry Caterpillar - Allerdale

Quite honestly some of the best food I've ever eaten really reasonable prices great portion sizes lovely staff would highly recommend xx

I ordered a beef burger with caramel used onion, goats cheese, relish and garlic mayo but it came without the onions or the mayo. The other order came without burger sauce. Both orders came without the salad we asked for and both were very salty. The leafy greens that came with my halloumi side were limp, dry and tasted awful. Overall, really not impressed. £13 burgers and I would have preferred to make myself or buy a McDonald’s.

Reasonably priced cafe with a good selection of lunch items, bagels, wraps and lunch bowls. Good for counting calories as lunch bows have options to select protein, sides and sauce. Coffee and milkshakes available, hidden off of main high street up Packhorse Court. Dog friendly and free wi-fi available. Only issue we found was no hand soap in toilet, minor issue for such a lovely place! Would recommend for couples or small groups, not lots of seating however take away was available.

The food is average at best with the bagels being unsatisfactory and the £5 ‘cheesy’ chips being cold and barely cheesy. The real problem here is the service. After booking upon entry we were told a half an hour wait for burgers. However they didn’t feel the need to tell us a wrap and a bagel would take over an hour to arrive half cold. The waiters seemed stressed so were unfriendly and the whole experience was poor. Would think twice about recommending or returning due to bad service (times and manners) and average food.

Awful! £6 for a wrap filled with sauce and couple chunks of steak with one tiny square of halloumi! Been absolutely ripped off!
